Well here are some more tidbits, Russell was the name of Cosby brother, In one episode Theo said that he went out with a girl named Condola, that is Phylicia Rashads daughter name. Hanks was Claire's maiden name but it is Bill's wife real maiden name. Olivia is also Bill's wife's middle name. His mother on the show was named after his real mother Anna. Also Cosby's daughter was in the episode "I'm in with the in crowd", She is the girl who sits next to Vanessa on the floor.

Your Cosby trivia for the day LOL

I guess you missed it when I posted it on Facebook LOL

I did miss it. I didn't know that you did. I figured out the connection some years ago. Maybe the 1990's? Around the early part of the period.
